Nissequogue River State Park is located on the north shore of Long Island. A variety of habitats including tidal and fresh water wetlands and hardwood forests provide habitat to a variety of shore birds, reptiles and amphibians. A section of the park has been designated a State Bird Conservation Area. The Greenbelt Trail, for walking and hiking, parallels the Nissequogue River and provides scenic views of the river and the Long Island Sound from the top of the bluffs. The park also has a soccer field, a canoe and kayak launch, fishing, bird watching, interpretive signs, guided tours and group tours by reservation, plus a conference room which can be rented.

The Nissequogue River State Park and Marina will be adding names to the wait list for slips on a first come first serve basis. You must be a New York State resident to be on the wait list. The fee is $25.00 per year to remain on the list. If you are on the wait list you may not hold a slip and conversely, if you hold a slip you may not have a place on the wait list.
The number of people on the wait list varies from season to season. The marina has up to 115 unusable slips depending upon changes in the river bottom. The slips are for recreational boating. No personal watercraft is permitted. Boats must be registered to the slip holder.
Boaters may hold a slip for a three year term. Licenses for slips are issued on a year to year basis if the slip holder was in good standing the previous year.
Please weigh your decision carefully. The fee is not refundable nor can it be applied to the slip fee which is currently $50.00 per foot. The north marina is accessible only by launch or dinghy. The south marina is accessible via a gangway. Travel in and out of the marina is tide dependent. During low tides boats may sit in the mud. You are urged to visit the marina before you make a decision.
If you are interested in being on the wait list, complete the Registration Form on the following page and mail it with a copy of your New York State driver's license or non-driver photo ID and a $25.00 check or money order payable to "OPRHP" to:
